Just Add Ink #387 - Just Add a Colour Combo

Welcome to the latest Just Add Ink challenge. Nikki has given us a festive colour combo this week....very fitting for this time of year.

I've taken one of Stampin' Ups! retired white gift boxes (2016/2017 Holiday Catalogue - I hoard all things craft) & dressed it up with designer paper & a heat embossed poinsettia - stamped in Cherry Cobbler, then again with Versamark & Clear Embossing Powder, I did the same with our new leaf punch (oh the convenience!) & added the lovely mini sequin trim. Fairly simple but dresses up a little gift really well I think. These boxes are going to contain some chocolates for the teacher aids in the twins classrooms.

Do you still have Christmas goodies to create? We'd love you to join us at JAI for some crafting fun, although keep in mind it isn't a Christmas specific challenge.

It was absolutely awesome & so much fun to spend time with my beautiful crafting friends at On Stage in Melbourne a fortnight ago. The time goes so quickly though...so a few of us have decided a road trip to meet halfway is in order sometime during February. We've found a nice spot with water close by & I just can't wait!

Gorgeous Kid finished Year 11 exams this week so no more school for him until February next year. He told his boss he's available for extra work & they've already taken him up on it. He hasn't had a day off yet lol.

About Me

Welcome to my blog. Originally from Christchurch, New Zealand I came to Australia in 1990 and never moved home. After many years of travelling around, I now live in Canberra, the Nation's Capital.
I'm mum to one 17 year old Gorgeous Kid, twin 6 year olds - one of each known as Moo and Buster in our family, a four legged fluff ball called Lilli and a beautiful mini lop bunny called Humphrey.
I have been an Independent Stampin' Up! ® demonstrator since April 2008. I love all papercraft and I have set up this blog to share with you my love of stamping!
I gain a lot of inspiration reading other blogs and hope that I can offer some in return.
